Great Little Book to Put in the Back Pocket

I love this little book! It gives you the overall snapshot view of Britain. This book will help keep you from being an example of the Ugly, Ignorant American! It must be said though that this book is very basic. It is not going to give you details about any of the sections. It provides a foundational understanding of the nation. If you do not have the time to dig into a deep study of Britain, this is where you start. It includes demographics, historical timeline, customs, faux pas, sights to see, etc. However, it is not a tourist book. It doesn't give prices or hotels etc. For the price, it will save you much money and embarrassment in the long run. You can fit this little tome into your carry-on, purse or even your jacket pocket. Forget Amex, don't leave home without this guide!

To the point and very helpful!
